How would you describe Claudette Orbison personality and what would have happened if she lived longer

Dang, what a coincidence, I was just thinking about Claudette, yesterday! Which, admittedly, I don't often do.

Elis Amburn's book, portrays her as a troubled young woman, troubled because of how Roy treated her. The good, and bad. Like, Roy spoiling her, and then up and leaving for long periods of time.

The thing I thought about was her age, when they got together. I can't recall precisely, 12 - 15? She wouldn't have had much of a personality by then, I mean, we all had personalities, when we were those ages. But to be sexually objectified at such a young age, just for being pretty, has gotta affect that process too.

Which is why I think she didn't get the chance to have to have individuality, which affected her personality.

In the book I previously mentioned, and Carl Perkins' Book ("Go, Cat, Go!"), she was described as "spoiled and lazy," by Carl's wife Valda. For not tending to her own children or helping with chores when Claudette and Roy stayed with them, when her and Carl already had four children, which led to Valda wanting them out. Yet Elis, I believe at one point says she didn't do chores because she never learned to do them by the time she married Roy. As she was still a child.

A lot of Claudette's "unlikable", I use quotations because some may view her actions as such, behavior could be chalked up to her being an immature person - Because she was! Girl, didn't even have friends, a chance to grow up, and loved a man who was only around sometimes when she needed him there more, especially to raise three kids.

I imagined since she was so lonely, to have cheated, well, one of two things could've happened. Either she'd leave him or he'd leave her. But it was a toxic relationship, even for as much love as they had for each other because both were possessive. For Roy, I think more so due to having thrown that pistol into the Hendersonville lake, so he wouldn't do something, he'd regret. While, Claudette's possessiveness was rooted in childish jealousy since she met Roy when her brain was still developing.

Ultimately, something would've happened to cause them to divorce, I think. But if she got to live her own life, like Johnny Cash's wife Vivian, got to. Well, I can't help thinking or hoping, she would've got to be happier. 27!! That's too young, and she could've had a life outside of Roy with her sons. Which, also, who knows how she would've spoken about Roy, and their time together.

Outside of how she was badly described, I would describe Claudette as funny, and could be brash and crude betraying her pretty looks, patient and protective of her loved ones. She was fashionable, trendy, and likely used clothing and house decorating to express herself. She lacked self-confidence, pinning too much on Roy. When he kicked her out, along with the boy's, all else she had was her parents. Getting a job or starting a life of her own probably felt impossible, and she was used to living comfortably.

I think she was a sweet girl, ignorant, and desired love and attention. While also being mean girlish, calling Roy ugly, and stating she was glad the boy's looked more like her, even if it was from a place of affection. She was still a loving mother, and babied Wesley the most when he was a baby. She was immature, petty, and childish because she was still emotionally a child. So, the troubled image Elis created of her rings true, she was a troubled young woman because of how Roy treated her, the good and the bad.

Thank you for sending this question! It was a nice reprive to answer it.

I don't know if this is well known yet but if you stall for about 23 turns in the Tenna fight then there's special dialogue.

"tearyeye.private.i"

(Announcement❗️)

Like Hayao Miyazaki, I'm unretiring from my research. I can't emphasize how much my life has changed in the past year. So much so; my past posts throughout the years, both on Tumblr and Instagram, do not reflect what I want my research to be. Starting with a handle change, I'll no longer use "pinkeye.private.i". Instead, I will go by "tearyeye.private.i".

Due to the handle change, I'll repost, refurbish, and rewrite old posts and essays, adding new watermarks and posting without them. I'll also be getting rid of the old posts. While returning to research, I'll be recycling old content. Admittedly, I was doing that before, but it'll be easier for me and serve as a refresher.

I missed doing research.

Also, my Facebook page "pinkeye.private.i" was hacked, and I cannot access it. If you're following that page, I suggest unfollowing it because that is not me. I've also tried reporting it, but Facebook hasn't done anything to help. I've always seen people post about impersonator accounts; while my situation isn't the same, I must emphasize. The hacked Facebook page does not belong to me.

Regardless, I’m unretired from my research.

It is done (enough)!

I would hype it up more but this is really really simple. It randomly generates a set of symbols, colors, and a word, and then the expected thing to do with those is you draw some sort of character based off the result you get. So it's just an art challenge toy thingy.

There are also some practical features like you can lock parts of the result in place to rerandomize the rest, or hide parts of the generation you don't care about (like if you want to pick your own colors or hate the words being there)

You can try it out over on itch.io!

It should run in browser, but there's also a downloadable version for Windows if you want to use it offline. (No mac/linux versions for now, because I don't have appropriate computers to test those on and I...don't want to deal with mac's developer accounts or whatever their problem is...)

Here's something I made from one of the results I got for the sake of example:

(It's a bit of a rushed drawing sorry I just wanted to get the actual generator out there)

I hope everyone has fun with it :]

I don't know how to articulate this well, but I really fucking hate the way a lot of thin writers write fat characters. Like how men write women "breasting boobily" there is something so dehumanizing about how fat characters are often written. "He waddled", "he lumbered", the writer of the book I'm reading always mentions this characters "fleshy hand" when he does something with his hand. Like, we already know that he's fat. There is no need to describe everything he does as "doing it fatly".
